🔧 60278 Flaring Tool by Yellow Jacket Review

Another great product from Yellow Jacket. I've used all manner of ratchet and hand torch tools and this is by far the easiest and most reliable to use. I use it at least 6 times a day and love it every time. This is a must as it is reliable and will give you the perfect flare every time as long as you don't over tighten on the flare. It pays for itself after just a few uses. Highly recommended

Always perfect flash. Quality tool from the USA. I have no idea why I wasted my time with old T-handle bell tools, I have three of these and I might throw them away after using the yellow jacket tool. I would like to recommend the latter for installing mini-split air conditioners, do not be bothered by poor-quality copper sockets and leaks.

Feel was maintained throughout the AC cycle, but with heat, pressure increased and flair failed. It cost me 300 to do it again and reload. My concern was to find out what protrusion was required before clamping the pipe. With this tool it has one stop - adjust the clamps to size, insert the tube into the bottom clamp and push all the way down, pull the top clamp to the…

This thing is amazing. Easy to use on the fly. Runs very smooth with the blue nalog at the top and it's very easy to see when resistance starts. Just make sure to stop as soon as you feel resistance. The only thing I don't like is that other flash tools tend to click and not go further to avoid problems. Practice on a copper pry bar first. I overtightened my first few uses and there is a bulge in the highlight. Once I got the hang of it it was the best r410a flaring tool I had. Faster and…
